Lots of great finds off Redondo Beach last night. Merry Passage and I made another dive a few hundred yards west of the Topaz Pilings near the edge of the Redondo Canyon.
Our green fishing light attracted a school of 50+ juvenile squid. On the sand were the usual critters in addition to a few surprises. I found a pair of Apata pricei laying eggs, the second Tritonia exsulans I have seen in over 35 years of diving, and my first Platymera gaudichaudii, a tiny crab that scooted away after I got one photo.
We also found several poachers, scorpionfish, octopus, and Merry found a new blackwater animal she hasn't identified yet.
